you talking about? >> and 30 seconds seems like an eternity at times like that. >> what do you think of this guy? >> well, he was suspended at first, right and then later that day, let go. when i read that in the papers today, i thought, that wasn't -- that wasn't right. it seems to me he should have been given a second chance. then i saw it. and i went -- how can they let him go back on the air. brand new job, aren't you trying to impress people at least the first day? you get a little class, a little dignity, a little all of those things? >> or when it slips out to go, oh my god. >> he wasn't apologetic at all. he probably didn't know her name, either. these people should have spent a little time together. although they threw up together pretty darn quickly, didn't they?

>> i don't want to throw up. >> me, too. >> anyway, so here's the deal. speaking of -- >> in light of what we just got -- we'll segue into the same stuff. >> something equally as vulgar. there was, what was it, where was it, walmart, k-mart? >> k-mart has this very, very clever ad. if you haven't seen it, you should, it's called -- ship your pants. in other words, they're going to do shipping is free. you've got to be so careful when you say that. >> when you ship your pants. >> right. let's watch. >> ship my pants? right here? ship my pants? you're kidding. >> you can ship your pants right here. >> did you hear that? i can ship my pants for free. wow, i could ship my pants.

back when they used to ship fertilizer on ships. yes. there were all of these -- boats were exploding. and they couldn't figure it out until they realized that when, when boats do this, when they rock, cargo moves. and cargo can get wet. and when the fertilizer cargo got wet with the ammonia gas? it exploded. >> so what -- >> what they did was they started -- they were geniuses in the 1600s, they started marketing it acronym, ship high in transit. >> what is that again? ship high in transit. store high in transit. store high in transit. >> good to know. if you guys watch -- little

and a bunch of girls sitting around in bras. >> i wanted to reveal the true power of style which starts under the dress. it has nothing to do with the fashion. sometimes it's what you see in the mirror. and a lot of the women we use here to highlight trends and segments, all of the ladies are here today with me, but they're everyday women. and i have had my heart broken watching a mom look in the mirror and criticize herself while her daughter is watching. >> and it can do a lot of damage. >> this is about fun stuff to help you with on the outside, a reference book. i have these brave women who are here with me today. talk about color, there's something really basic when it comes to color. it's cool or warm and i have a graphic to show everyone at home. >> for skin tone. >> if you look at the inside of your wrist and you see the inside of your veins if you're more blue purple. i'm cool, you're warm and you're kind of in between.

>> i'm cool warm. you're on the fence. >> but it's not just about the color of your skin, whether you're light or dark. i also have another graphic to show you, so you can identify with some celebrities that look like you. these are cool colors and these are warm colors. >> warm colors are like the desert, earthy greens, sunset. cool colors are like the ocean, jewel tones. >> so we have melanie and melissa, wearing scarves that are the wrong colors. but when they swap, you see the big difference. when melissa puts on the warm orange and melanie puts the cool color on that's pink and it makes a big difference. it kind of warms your skin tone up. another big test, another big test is that white and ivory, not all white is equal. franzen looks amazing with the red hair, the white is kind of contrasting with. when she swaps with marino, she

was washed out in the ivory and when she puts the white on, it pops and the red hair really works and warms up with the soft ivory. the small differences make a big difference. because this book is about the power of attraction and getting people to notice you. and pat is my last example. who is wearing a gorgeous color that i love. but you can break the rules, you can wear any color, it's about the shade of the color. this is a little bold, so it's kind of competing with her hair. like most women, we spray tan or dye our hair. but a softer salmon really kind of softens her up. and so that's the kind of stuff i wanted to put in the second part of the book. >> the other thing i like about the book is it tells you your body type and what you should wear. if you're short-waisted, do i wear a long thing or short thing? it kind of gives you abcs. >> i wanted to tape what was in my head when i would walk into a dressing room and i would see an x on people. i help you figure out what your x factor is and that's where
